to where I was now standing and pulling me into a bone-crushing hug. “I’ve got the reception planned out and the flower arrangements! Oh, and I think I know the perfect little boutique where you can find nice bridesmaid dresses! We’ll go there another day – it doesn’t have to be now. I think I can even call up-”
“Amy!” I laughed, cutting her off. “Calm down, you have like an entire year to plan this out; I mean, never mind the fact that I didn’t actually assign you to be my maid of honour.”
“You have no other friends, obviously it’s going to be me.” Amy scoffed.
“Hold on a minute, Shortcake, what do you mean a year?” Adrian exclaimed angrily. “I can’t wait that long!”
“Don’t make me call it off already,” I told Adrian, giving him a warning look.
“I’ll just get into another car accident,” he replied with a smirk.
“Adrian!”
He grinned and waggled his eyebrows in my direction before lifting up his uninjured wrist to usher me over. “I want another kiss. I’m hurting.” He pouted, before it turned into another smirk.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head with a small smile before walking back over to him and placing a brief kiss on his lips.
Allen laughed once I pulled away. “He’s not getting some for a while. It’s okay, Em, I can fulfil his position while he’s out of order.” He winked.
“That’s my fiancé you’re talking to,” Adrian growled, sending a death glare in Allen’s direction.
“And my best friend!” Amy scowled.
“Dude, and my little sister,” Blake commented with a grimace.
“And now my official daughter in law with big boobs.” Mason grinned, imitating Adrian’s earlier move and waggling his eyebrows at me.
“Mason!” Katherine scolded, shaking her head at him before smiling at me.
I laughed at everyone’s remarks before letting out a small contented sigh, glad to have gone for the job of Adrian’s assistant.
Epilogue
One Year Later…
“Emily, stand still!” Amy snapped, looking up at me with a menacing scowl etched into her features.
“I’m sorry? I’m not shaking on purpose,” I mumbled, looking back up at my frantic reflection before biting my lip. “Are you sure I should be getting married, Ames? I mean, we’ve only been engaged for a year-”
“And you’ve put up with each other for two years. Of course you should be getting married! I need to be a maid of honour, you and Adrian love each other very much, Mason has been droning on about how he wants to get tipsy and strip on your wedding night and your parents have been waiting for this day since you were a child! You know that this is the right choice; you’re just having pre-wedding nerves. Calm down.” She coached in a calm voice, getting out of her crouched position and pulling me into a warm, comforting hug.
“Yeah. Plus, you’re getting married to me; that’s the right choice on everybody’s list.” A new, deeper voice chuckled, making both Amy and I shriek. “You look beautiful, Shortcake. Even better than what I pictured in my head.” Adrian smirked playfully with a glint of admiration in his eyes.
“Adrian! Its bad luck to see your bride before the wedding actually starts!” I stressed, my eyes growing wide.
Adrian’s smirk dropped to a scowl. “How the hell was I supposed to know that? I’ve never been married before!” he retorted. “And who cares anyway. You shouldn’t believe in bad luck because you’re marrying me.” He stated it as if it was an obvious fact to know, and I rolled my eyes and grinned at his arrogance.
“I don’t know how you managed to fit your ego in this room but you need to leave, the ceremony starts in 10 minutes! You’re meant to be out there waiting for her to walk down the aisle!” Amy stressed, leaving my side and walking over to Adrian to push him out of the room.
“Yeah, yeah. I’ve watched enough Rom-Com’s with this one to know the procedure. I’ll look at her like she’s the only woman in the room and blah, blah, blah. That’s pretty stupid, since your whole family is practically 94% female-”
“OUT!” Amy snapped, attempting to push his large frame out the door.
“Wait! I want a kiss before I go!” Adrian begged.
Both Amy and I gave him an incredulous look. “You’re going to kiss me in like 15 minutes!” I exclaimed.
“Yeah but that’s going to be me kissing my wife. I need to kiss you now as my fiancé.” Adrian plucked Amy’s hands away from his back like
